Gaza Residents Question Second Phase of Truce Amid Ongoing Strikes
The long-awaited second phase of a truce plan aimed at ending the war in Gaza has officially begun, according to US President Donald Trump. However, for Palestinians living under Israeli occupation, the announcement is met with more questions than answers.
Critics argue that key provisions of the first phase of the agreement remain unfulfilled, including a complete and lasting ceasefire. The fact that these fundamental demands have not been met has raised doubts about the sincerity of Israel's intentions.
For those in Gaza, particularly civilians caught in the crossfire, the second phase holds little promise. Strikes and rocket fire continue unabated, with innocent lives being lost on both sides of the conflict. Many question whether the planned easing of restrictions and increased humanitarian aid will trickle down to the ordinary people who have suffered most under the blockade.
While Trump's announcement is seen as a positive development by some, many Gazans view it as a public relations stunt designed to appease critics abroad rather than a genuine attempt to end the bloodshed. Until concrete actions are taken to address these concerns, skepticism will likely prevail in Gaza.

... I mean, what's the deal with all these phases? It's like they're just trying to keep us guessing till something actually gets done. And a complete and lasting ceasefire? Yeah right, like that's gonna happen. We know how that works out 
. What about the civilians who are getting killed on both sides? When do we get some real help over here? I'm all for peace and all, but this feels like just another PR stunt to me 
. Can't they just make a decision and stick with it for once? The lack of concrete actions is just infuriating 
.
meanwhile innocent ppl on both sides r still dyin and sufferin its all about diplomacy but what about the ppl who are actually affected by this conflict? i mean we know israel's military isn't just gonna stop shootin' rockets outta nowhere they need concrete steps to be taken so these civilians can finally feel safe and get the aid they need 
it's not just about truces and agreements its about human rights and making sure people are treated fairly that's what this should all be about 
We need concrete actions, not just empty promises. The people in Gaza have been suffering for so long, it's hard to believe that things will actually improve now. 
I'm glad Trump is trying, but I need to see more than just a tweet about it 
before I start celebrating 
. i get it, israel's got some major concerns but come on, innocent lives lost cuz of politics? that's not okay 
. trump's announcement might be a good start, but we need to see more concrete actions from israel 
. they gotta show us they're serious about this truce, not just tryin' to spin it for their own PR 
.
and I'm still trying to process the stunning natural beauty of Milford Sound 
. Have you guys ever been there? It's like a whole different world, you know? The way the water cascades down into the depths of the canyon... it's just mind-blowing! 
. Trump's assertion that this truce will bring an end to the war seems overly optimistic, and one can't help but wonder if it's merely a PR stunt designed to placate the international community rather than a genuine effort at conflict resolution 
. It's like, they're already living under such tough conditions with the blockade and all, and now there's this promise of a truce but it's not really bringing them any relief. I mean, what's the point of having a ceasefire if the violence just keeps happening on both sides? And what about the restrictions being lifted? Is that just going to give Israel more ammo to say they're doing what they're supposed to be doing?
. I wish someone could come up with a real plan that actually helps these people, you know? Not just some empty promises or PR stunts
